Stock No.16840
A fine and exceptionally rare Chinese Chippendale mahogany triple fold over table in a beautifully figured Cuban mahogany. The detail of the blind fretwork carved frieze extends to the legs and embodies the Chippendale style. The triple fold over top incorporates a tea table, a baize card surface with counter dishes and also a games surface with a backgammon and chessboard.
A wonderful and whimsical example of Georgian ingenuity, utilising a single table for a range of functions, whilst maintaining the elegant restraint of the Georgian style.
English, c.1770.
